Johnny,
Don't forget the BSBS Toledo shows this week....Commander Cody at DeSimone's on this Friday night. This might be a sell out...Johnny A on Thursday, July 2nd at the Toledo Speedway Bar and Grill. He has been likened to a SRV infused Wes Montgomery or a Chet Atkins infused Albert Collins. Dude is amazing. See: www.myspace.com/johnnyaguitarmusic
Not to forget...FROSTBITE IS OPENING FOR HIM!!!
Tickets are general admission and are $15 and $12 for Black Swamp Blues Society or Toledo Jazz Society members.

Something Everybody Uses and Needs Every Day...

Unless you're a vegetarian, that is. I'm talking about meat. Thick cut 1 pound T-Bones, 9 ounce Ribeye with less than a 1/4 inch of fat on them, New York Strips so juicy they'll make your mouth water just looking at them, Fillet Mignon so tender you can cut it with your fork, Steak Burgers 1/3 pound a piece. Is that enough to get your appetite going? If not how about boneless, skinless, chicken breasts with all the fat trimmed, seasoned with lemon pepper, barbecue, or Italian seasoning or even plain so you can add your own special touch. How about Chicken Fritters made of all white meat, breaded and seasoned and ready for your deep fryer or oven? And if that's not tempting enough, how about the catch of the day? Flounder Fillets, King Crab Legs, Peeled and Deveined Shrimp, Precooked Cocktail Shrimp, Breaded Shrimp, or the best tasting Sea Scallops?

Is there any reason you wouldn't want any of that in your freezer? On your grill? In your oven? Happily filling your family's empty bellies at an affordable price WITH a guarantee? Reply to this message and I'll get you a GREAT deal on the best choice cuts of meat Toledo has seen since I've lived here. (24 years now) Does it all sound good but you just don't have the freezer space for all of it? Well, I can help you there too, with a discounted or free freezer. Let's talk meat!

Hope to hear from you soon,
Dianne

P.S. If feeding your family this great quality meat doesn't appeal to you, please feel free to pass this not along to somebody else that may find the need to do- so. O-ur delicious cuts are available Monday - Saturday, 10a.m. - 6p.m. Premium Quality Meats - Serving Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan for over 10 years. We accept Credit and Debit Cards, State EBT Cards, Checks, and of course, Ca$h. Message me or call 419-671-6299 and tell them Dianne sent you!

Thank you!
TomO
